Band Members: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
FERD_ableOn tracks listed here, I worked with Activist/Writer Ferd Eggan to produce tracks from a collection of his writings.This is a continuation of a project he had began with writer Robin Podolsky and musicians from a local band Drance (Brandy Dalton & Robert Woods).The project was originally called, "What About The End of The World". They had performed some of these 'poems' live circa 1993, but were never able to complete or record the project.In the late nineties I was told about the project and agreed to put some of these texts to music. - BUT as things go, our lives took other paths and it fell aside. Ferd and I got back together and decided to take another shot at it. These are a few of the tracks that I produced for this project.Addtional voices contributed by Mary Lucy, Nancy McNeil, Gary Indiana, Mark Simon, Steve Kokinis, Robert Hadstate, and Mearle (the Dog)
